Yes, it will. It has been up in price for a while though. The only WW comics I would ever purchase are Bolland covers. Yep, love them all!

Think I gots me a couple-two-three . . . Just love this place.

HG Conans always pay dividends: Conan #44

That's all actually "good" news. Time to dust off the Turtles. Oh, btw, never buy what you're looking for - it can be incredibly frustrating. Buy "the best athlete in the draft", what you're looking for will eventually come to you. (thumbs u

Is that the Living Monolith issue? Coincidently, I just re-read that last night. It's a pretty cool story. It reminded me just how much I enjoyed comics back then and wished that today's comics could be more like that. Back then? (I had to look it up . . . ) According to Marvel, it is:

And much more gratifying, I might add. (thumbs u

diva_ Why I'll fix you, you little....oh wait that's better! diva_ a person_without_enough_empathyy divad that must have her way exactly, or no way at all. often rude and belittles people, believes that everyone is beneath her and thinks that she is so much more loved than what she really is. selfish, spoiled, and overly dramatic. The name, the attitude. My work is done here! So now now you're a misogynist as well as a bigot?

6/20/2014 4:00 pm This is an OPEN-FORUM thread, i.e., anyone can update the last revised set of guidelines (subject to minimum editorial review). ANY real controversies can be settled by poll within the thread. You don't like something? Make a poll. Welcome to the PGM Forum Here are some general guidelines for this thread. Remember that grading from a scan is not 100% reliable, but it is fun and interesting. Please contribute any suggestions you may have to these guidelines in this thread. PGM = "Please Grade My" GENERAL GUIDELINES 1. Please respect others while participating in the PGM Forum. Critique is valuable, but sometimes it can be over-the-line. Be conscious of what you post. 2. Please post only one (1) book per thread and a maximum of three (3) books per person per day. 3. You may provide a brief description of the book's condition and any hidden defects such as a loose or detached cover or centerfold, spine splits or tears, interior stains or tanning, and any other defect that is not readily discernible from a scan. 4. Please provide adequate size scans or, at the very least, clear photos of the book you are submitting for grading. Good quality scans are superior to photos, but if you don't have access to a scanner, photos will do. 5. Post scans of both front and back cover as a minimum. Additional scans or photos of problem areas are often helpful. 6. It's your thread - do as you like. But the recommended size of the scan within the thread is 850x1200 pixels. Anything larger tends to drag out the screen dimensions of the thread. You can link to larger scans if you like, but direct links are better. 7. The recommended file type is .jpeg. 8. You may want to place a colored backer board or paper behind your book prior to scanning. Sometimes this helps to accentuate the edges of your book. Be sure that the backer board is not the same or similar color as the general colors of the front or back cover. 9. If you post your book in the PGM forum for grading and eventually send it into CGC for professional grading, it is suggested that you post the CGC results and if possible, an image of the slabbed book. Many here would like to see how well their grading skills match up to those at CGC. TIPS ON SCANNING Don't crop the edges of your scans too tight to the book edges and corners. Allow space around the perimeter of the book. Many scanners have default settings to select the image on the scanner bed. It is suggested that you turn that feature off.

Would you guys please get this straight . . . I've been running around like a madman.

He's not old enough to have "curmudgeon status".

Pulled this one out the other day . . .

That has not been reported at all. Google is your friend. Read the articles yesterday. It's speculation at this point. You are saying it's a sure thing. http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/06/19/ant-man-movie-villain-is-reportedly-darren-cross/ http://www.superherohype.com/news/305801-ant-mans-villains-revealed?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ant-mans-villains-revealed#/slide/1 So based upon all those reports you would tell the comic book public to not speculate and secure possible copies of that book?? Wait for official word from Marvel themselves? Ok buddy So then, isn't this the book you would want?

I agree with that. How that book escaped cancellation astounds me. Amazingly bad. They couldn't cancel it! At the time, DC did not own Wonder Woman. They had a contract with the Martson estate that stipulated they had to publish a certain number of Wonder Woman comics every year or else the contract would end and the rights would revert fully back to Marston. DC couldn't ever let that happen, of course, because the estate could then rent the rights out to Marvel or something. So in order to protect themselves, they had to publish Wonder Woman regardless of how bad sales got. It's my understanding this relationship continued well into the late 80's at least, which is the reason we got the Trina Robbins/Kurt Busiek Wonder Woman mini-series that came out between the end of the original series and the launch of the Perez reboot - DC had to publish Wonder Woman comics under their deal with the Marston estate. Busiek explained this in an interview about the series: "The book came about because, back at that time, DC’s legal deal regarding Wonder Woman was that they needed to publish at least four issues a year of something headlining Wonder Woman, with her as the main character and with the logo prominent and all, or the rights to the character would revert to the Marston Estate. It could be issues of WONDER WOMAN, of SENSATION COMICS featuring Wonder Woman as the lead, whatever, but there had to be at least four issues a year. I’m told that since then things have changed, but I don’t know the details." I believe DC and the estate eventually reached some sort of buyout deal giving DC full ownership, but I'm not sure of the details either. Great info! (thumbs u

In that shape, it's going to need more than a double cover to make it interesting . . .

OMG! Tim posting somewhere besides the PGM forum?!?! And twice, no less.

They are having director issues but I don't know that it's been officially canceled. Actually, I heard the ant union was on strike . . .

Sorry, Tim. This is how it's going to work. It's not about you. Frankly, I find the first post irrelevant.

Hmmm... According to Marvel, Tales to Astonish 13 Incredible Hulk Annual 5 Marvel Swimsuit Special 2 Sensational Spider-man 1 Marvel Monsters: From the files of Ulysses Bloodstone 1 Marvel Monsters: Monster's on the Prowl 1 Nick Fury's Howling Commandos 2 Nick Fury's Howling Commandos 4 Nick Fury's Howling Commandos 5 Nick Fury's Howling Commandos 6 Annihilation Conquest Star Lord 1 Annihilation Conquest Star Lord 2 Annihilation Conquest Star Lord 3 Annihilation Conquest Star Lord 4 Annihilation Conquest 2 Annihilation Conquest 3 Annihilation Conquest 4 Annihilation Conquest 5 Annihilation Conquest 6 Guardians of the Galaxy 1 So it is his 20th appearance. Which means the real key issue to grab is Annihilation Conquest 5. Dang! I only collect 18th appearances . . . trash it.

The real question would be, "What's your money on?" I'm pretty sure GotG will be a hit and will be officially announced as a franchise within a week of release. I have to go with Marvel's track record here. I'm not a particular fan of Marvel's incessant use of stupid humor in its movies, but looking at the box office receipts plenty of people seem to find it to be entertaining or at least easily ignored/tolerated. I'm also not particularly concerned that the general public isn't familiar with the GotG characters. If you can sell two Thor movies to the general public you can sell them on the idea of a space adventure starring the insufficiently_thoughtful_person from Parks and Recreation, a talking raccoon, and an anthropomorphic tree. I am sure it will be also. Although we often disagree, we don't here. And as you, I enjoy the conversation.
